Thanks

It turned out good. I am still making the NO rom version. I will try to post it next to this one. The gameplay is different and the table size. It will take me much longer to do the scripts and sounds.

Cool, you finished the table . Thanks.

Cool, you finished the table . Thanks.

It only took about 5 hours. 32Assassin had it all built. It just needed textures. Its not perfect but it is better than the Vp9 version. I could have seperated the playfield from the plastics. But I never did. It would have made the file size much larger.

Ghost, you mind if I take a stab at completing this table? Adjusting plastics, post, lights, and and other things to make it look and play like the real pin. Not that I have ever played the real pin but have seen a few gameplay videos. I've already reworked some of the playfield art, drop targets, lights, ect.  

 

Here is my current WIP.

Is there an animated backglass for this one?  Could not find one.

do what you can to make it better. then re upload it. i notice you fixed the lights to read City of Gold  .     more game testing helps us all. I did put 2 pegs at the top of the 2 slings because ball would stop on the left one during gameplay.

Keep doing what you can. 

 

I have the VP9 version. That's why I wanted to see a better version. When I saw the photo's I really like the playfield art. The mayan pyramids and the rock totems, and the tiny little people walking up to the pyramid. I thought it was funny.

Nice... thank you, STAT.

[jbg4208]

Alright, Someone want to play test this a bit and let me know what you think? See if there are any glaring problems or what not. I have never played this table in person so the physics settings are from watching what youtube videos I could find. I do seem to have the ball crawl on the rubber from time to time. Anyone know what the best rubber height should be? Also this is the best I could do with the plastics unless we can get some better resources.

EDIT: - You might want to adjust the day night slider down to about 3 for best results in lighting. I forgot I had it turned up during testing.

real rubbers are 30-32vp units, but vp likes neutral, many say 25, I like to run 27 for some reason.  edit:  so Height to 30 for visual, and Hit Height to 25-27 for physics.

 

Thanks for the update I'll test it out this weekend.

OK. I did find one of the problem spots next to the lower pop bumper. The plastic was set to Collide able and the ball was catching on it and getting stuck. I'll play with the hit heights also. Thanks Dan!

The issue isn't that the plastic is collidable, it's that it is too low.  It should have a bottom height of 51 and a top height of 53.

[jbg4208]

Yep. Sure enough. Thanks

Jbg4208    looks much better. I did not even know there was a lizard on one of the plastics    the bumper might be a little bright. When this game is played in the dark only the bumper top is lit and the circle around it is just plain plastic. I like what you did and saved a copy. I also just finished a NO ROM version that I will upload. When you are done editing it you should upload it here not as link but actual download. If you want. 

 

 

[jbg4208]

This look better? And the Lizard is an option someone added to their own table. Its just the best picture I had for that plastic. I liked it so I kept it in. Got the flat drop targets added along with correcting the image on them. I think this should about do it unless anyone else has any physic recommendations. It plays about like the videos online, that I have seen. Pretty slow but very challenging to score high. Well, for me at least. If we had a playfield scan we could make this even better. At least get all the parts in the right spots. Right now they are kinda skewed to match the playfield.
